Psalm 72

New International Version (NIV)

Of Solomon.

1 Endow the king with your justice, O God,the royal son with your righteousness.2 May he judge your people in righteousness,your afflicted ones with justice.

3 May the mountains bring prosperity to the people,the hills the fruit of righteousness.4 May he defend the afflicted among the peopleand save the children of the needy;may he crush the oppressor.5 May he endure[a] as long as the sun,as long as the moon, through all generations.6 May he be like rain falling on a mown field,like showers watering the earth.7 In his days may the righteous flourishand prosperity abound till the moon is no more.

8 May he rule from sea to seaand from the River[b] to the ends of the earth.9 May the desert tribes bow before himand his enemies lick the dust.10 May the kings of Tarshish and of distant shoresbring tribute to him.May the kings of Sheba and Sebapresent him gifts.11 May all kings bow down to himand all nations serve him.

12 For he will deliver the needy who cry out,the afflicted who have no one to help.13 He will take pity on the weak and the needyand save the needy from death.14 He will rescue them from oppression and violence,for precious is their blood in his sight.

15 Long may he live!May gold from Sheba be given him.May people ever pray for himand bless him all day long.16 May grain abound throughout the land;on the tops of the hills may it sway.May the crops flourish like Lebanonand thrive[c] like the grass of the field.17 May his name endure forever;may it continue as long as the sun.

Then all nations will be blessed through him,[d]and they will call him blessed.

18 Praise be to the Lord God, the God of Israel,who alone does marvelous deeds.19 Praise be to his glorious name forever;may the whole earth be filled with his glory.Amen and Amen.

I'm a Christian who grew up around several nursing mothers and imagined every couple did this in private, therefore I've always desired an Adult Nursing Relationship in marriage. I've heavily researched this unique form of intimacy and while still convinced that when it comes to strengthening marriages, nothing/no one can match Christ, I know that in a strictly physical sense, an ANR has no competitors.
I want to see Christian Couples properly living the gospel, which entails good sex and deep intimacy. I'm in my mid 30's, mostly laid-back, adventurous, romantic, interesting, complex and moderately intellectual. I'm an American living in Southern Ontario and I pray God soon brings a godly ANR-loving woman. Please reach me at prov519@gmail.com. God bless.
